Pope Sets Holy Land Visit Dates
Pope Paul VI will depart Rome January 4 and return January 6 for a Holy Land trip, the Vatican announced. He would be the first pope to visit the region since St. Peter and the first Roman pontiff to leave Italy in 150 years, with plans unlisted for lodging or exact itinerary. The trip aims to mark Christian unity and visit sites tied to Christ’s birth, life and death, likely including Jerusalem and Nazareth. The Epiphany date adds symbolic timing to the voyage.
